To bring in Encanto, Indiana Jones, or both would mean new attractions for the park and would be a huge improvement to what is there currently.

Ever since Disney showed us a Blue Sky look at what the potential Animal Kingdom expansion could look like at the D23 Expo, we have been salivating over the possibilities.

[{"selector":"#anim-7b9ea8fc-e7fd-4f02-9db2-4ef8f2c68815","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-28f5a8ba-3e29-4a97-8443-1104cbe705bf","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-116.16162%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

And now, new building permits suggest that the construction of this land and demolition of DinoLand USA could begin shortly.

[{"selector":"#anim-8909b2f3-824a-43f6-9047-12cf2afdf605","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-96c73dd6-cf61-46c1-86c7-cd433b8f399e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.8265%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

We tend to keep an eye out whenever Disney files new construction permits, because it often reveals when a new project may begin and how long it may last for.

And just recently, Walt Disney Imagineering filed a new permit at the Animal Kingdom, linked to the Indiana Jones and Encanto project, which means it’s likely ready to begin.
